Officially released tomorrow
My big takeaways
Jackson is fine at Center I thought he was like Lee but he’s closer to Noel than Lee. At pro day he didn’t look like a skinny guy who will get pushed around. I think it’s a big help inside I like Ware but we better playing Brooks more.
Askew isn’t as big as I expected. In recruiting podcast they said legit 6’3 maybe 6’4 or so. Not a big deal but he’s more a PG. Also more athletic than I expected so you see why he has more upside than Mintz.
The team length as far as wingspan is crazy. Height is great but other than the PGs everyone who will play significant minutes has around a 7 wingspan you could see it in the pro day it’s hard to pass and layups are a challenge
Height without shoes
ESPN’s Jonathan Givony released a rundown of the measurements and compared the results to other notable NBA players, along with some other agility test results.
